    The Bushcraft Company advice

    I think you misread the post, the OP was talking about The Bushcraft Company rather than a Bushcraft Company generically. The Bushcraft Company are actively recruiting now. To answer the OP, I would just apply and see how you get on. If you are unsuccessful you can always ask the interviewer...

    Buffalo tops - what's each one good for?

    I think the mtn shirt was the original design, it was superseded by the Special 6 based on feedback of folk getting cold midrifts! The Active is Buffalo’s version of the Rab Vapourise. Use - well the mtn shirt and Spec 6 are the same, the shorter version might be better for water sports perhaps...

    For Sale Mountain Search And Rescue Ventile orange anorak. Large

    Interesting. From the adverts it suggests that some were and some weren’t Ventile. I used to own a Cadet Smock and think they were all Cotton duck. I’ve seen quite a few different versions including the orange MRT / SAR version. Good luck with the sale.

    For Sale Mountain Search And Rescue Ventile orange anorak. Large

    Is this definitely Ventile? We have a lot of these smocks in our collection and most are just tight weave cotton.

    Jacket or Smock?

    I’m a fan of traditional smocks (not with a full zip). I think the design first became popular in WW2 with early SF units like the LRDG and SAS. Later the same smocks were issued to mountain troops also. The smock remained popular with SF units and I guess some were tailored with zips until the...

    Looking for a good pair of work trousers..

    I can’t help there Greg as a friend sent them over. Can’t imagine it being too much though. I’ve not worn them extensively yet as they are quite thick and it has been too warm but my pal lives in them.

    To move to Warwickshire? Leaving woods behind?

    I grew up in the midlands and couldn’t wait to leave as a teen. When I joined up my first posting was to the north of Scotland and since then I’ve always got jobs that are in nice scenic areas. I’m not being disrespectful to those that live there but for me it would probably be one of the last...

    PARAMO CLOTHING

    I’ve used the Aspira smock and Salopettes for some years as my winter shell (as a MR volunteer). The system works well in really poor weather and the designs are better for ventilating then the ME Kongor MRT suit. The fabric is nicer to wear then Gore-Tex as it offers some insulation so dosnt...
